epoch
Contains primitives for marshaling/unmarshaling Unix timestamp/epoch to/from built-in time.Time type in JSON.
Seconds
Seconds since the Epoch(Unix time), e.g.:
{"timestamp":1136239445}
Inherits built-in time.Time type, thus has all it methods, but has custom serializer and deserializer(converts integer into built-in time.Time and vice versa).
Usage Example
package main
import (
"encoding/json"
"fmt"
"github.com/vtopc/epoch"
)
type Request struct {
Timestamp epoch.Seconds `json:"timestamp"`
}
func main() {
var v Request
err := json.Unmarshal([]byte(`{"timestamp":1136239445}`), &v)
if err != nil {
panic(err)
}
fmt.Printf("%+v\n", v)
// Output: {Timestamp:2006-01-03 00:04:05 +0200 EET}
// Also as epoch.Seconds inherits all time.Time's methods one can do next:
fmt.Println(v.Timestamp.Year())
// Output: 2006
fmt.Println(v.Timestamp.UTC().String())
// Output: 2006-01-02 22:04:05 +0000 UTC
}
Milliseconds
Same as epoch.Seconds, but for Epoch(Unix time) in milliseconds, e.g.:
{"timestamp":1136239445999}
StrSeconds
Same as epoch.Seconds, but for strings, e.g.:
{"timestamp":"1136239445"}
StrMilliseconds
Same as epoch.Milliseconds, but for strings, e.g.:
{"timestamp":"1136239445999"}
